Gulmyra's story

Gulmyra has been doing her favorite thing, sewing, for 5 years. She takes her orders at her home. Gulmyra mainly sews national-style dresses. This is her income to her family. Gulmyra is the mother of 4 children and she is 31 years old. Her husband works as a teacher. Gulmyra wants to buy an embroidery sewing machine to sew embroidery on national dresses. This is very fashionable in Tajikistan and many women prefer to sew such dresses with embroidery. Gulmyra turns to you for support. She really needs your support.
